Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Reenable runtime PM for dynamically unbound devices

When trying to run a VM with PCI passthrough of intel-eth-pci ETH device
QEMU fails with "Permission denied" error. This happens only if
intel-eth-pci driver is dynamically unbound from the device using
"echo -n $DEV > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/stmmac/unbind" command. If
"vfio-pci.ids=..." is used to bind the device to vfio-pci driver and the
device is never probed by intel-eth-pci driver the problem does not occur.

When intel-eth-pci driver is dynamically unbound from the device
remove()
  intel_eth_pci_remove()
    stmmac_dvr_remove()
      pm_runtime_disable();

Later when QEMU tries to get the device file descriptor by calling
VFIO_GROUP_GET_DEVICE_FD ioctl pm_runtime_resume_and_get returns -EACCES.
It happens because dev->power.disable_depth == 1 .

vfio_group_fops_unl_ioctl(VFIO_GROUP_GET_DEVICE_FD)
  vfio_group_ioctl_get_device_fd()
    vfio_device_open()
      ret = device->ops->open_device()
        vfio_pci_open_device()
          vfio_pci_core_enable()
              ret = pm_runtime_resume_and_get();

This behavior was introduced by
commit 7ab5e10eda02 ("vfio/pci: Move the unused device into low power state with runtime PM")

This may be the case for any driver calling pm_runtime_disable() in its
remove() callback.

The case when a runtime PM may be disable for a device is not handled so we
call pm_runtime_enable() in vfio_pci_core_register_device to re-enable it.

  vfio/pci: Reenable runtime PM for dynamically unbound devices
